I think a Unicode library is very much needed in Boost. Why not use a specialized library, like ICU? It's partly a question of the size of ICU, which is several megabytes, whereas Boost.Text is only 1.2-2MB depending on your compiler.
Ideally, a "Unicode library for Boost" would offer an API, and the question of what backend is used would be an implementation detail.
Right. For example, Windows 10 comes with ICU built in, ready for consumption: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/intl/international-componen... Ciao Dani
